There are many ways to supplement your income and help finance your education with on-campus and off-campus employment. Some degree programs also offer co-operative work placements to students to help fuse academic knowledge with practical experience.
Working on-campus
There are several job programs at Memorial University that can help you offset the cost of your education. Students can take advantage of the Memorial Undergraduate Career Experience Program (MUCEP), a job program that will have you work either 40 or 80 hours per semester at any one of our participating on-campus faculties or departments.
The International Student Work Experience Program (ISWEP) is similar to the MUCEP program and is designed exclusively for international students. Additionally, job openings may be available through the library, campus food services, housing, and other operations on campus. For more information and a list of job postings, visit our Career Development and Experiential Learning Centre.
Working off-campus
After studying 6 months in Canada, students become eligible for an Off-Campus Work Permit, which allows you to seek employment elsewhere throughout the city. Drop by the International Student Advising Office (ISA) for more information on employment opportunities for international students.
